• How much does it cost to hire Catlin for a contracts case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Catlin walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Catlin offer a free consultation?

  Catlin charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Catlin's office. Some contracts attorneys offer free consults — check Catlin's current terms during booking.

• How long do contracts cases in Michigan typically take?

  Simple contracts matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Catlin gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Catlin take my case if I'm outside Grosse Pointe Park?

  Catlin is licensed in Michigan. Matters governed by Michigan law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Catlin will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Catlin?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Catlin will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
